This timely book is a history of the iconic Australian towns that arose with these booms over a century: Broken Hill, Mount Isa, Queenstown, Mount Morgan, Port Pirie and Kambalda. \u003cem\u003eMining Towns\u003c\/em\u003e shows the rich cultural and historical legacy these towns helped create as townspeople - those working below the ground and those above - sought to make their lives in them. The current 'fly-in-fly-out' mining culture means we may not see the likes of them again, which, as this book shows, will be a great loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Eklund\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 174223352X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742233529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e UNSW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Erik Eklund","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485996888319,"sku":"9781742233529","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_410215a4-3dc1-47c1-b0bc-c61587c8d8a1.jpg?v=1778052979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mining-towns-erik-eklund-9781742233529","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
